American Road Trip: 12 Inch Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet, Maryland

The seasoning on this Maryland skillet was perfect right out of the box — first batch of cornbread didn't stick at all. I love the "Old Line State" engraving, makes it feel like a little souvenir I can actually cook with.

The Maryland engraving is a nice touch, and the pan was perfectly pre-seasoned out of the box. I’ve used it for cornbread and searing chicken, and nothing sticks—it heats evenly every time.

I picked this up for my dad who loves anything related to Fort McHenry, and he was thrilled with the detailed engraving on the bottom—it's much sharper than I expected. The skillet heats evenly and held up perfectly after his first batch of cornbread.

The Maryland engraving is a nice touch, and the skillet came pre-seasoned and ready to cook right out of the box. Made my first batch of cornbread in it last night, and nothing stuck.

This skillet’s heat distribution is remarkably even—I’ve never had a cornbread come out so perfectly golden across the bottom. The etched Maryland design adds a nice bit of personality to my kitchen without being too flashy.

The Maryland design is beautifully etched into the cast iron, and the weight feels solid and well-balanced in hand. It heats evenly for perfect searing on my stovetop, and the seasoning was already smooth and non-stick right out of the box.

I was hesitant about the price, but the seasoning on this skillet is flawless right out of the box — it's slick and ready to cook. The Maryland state engraving is crisp and adds a fun, personal touch to my kitchen collection. It's quickly become my go-to pan for cornbread.

This pan's weight is perfect for searing steaks without feeling like I'm lifting a dumbbell. The Maryland state etching adds a nice touch for a local gift. Already used it for cornbread and cleanup was a breeze.

First batch of fried chicken came out with a perfectly crispy crust, and the Maryland engraving on the handle is a nice touch. Cleans up way easier than my old nonstick pan after a quick scrub.

The 12-inch size is perfect for our family of four, and the "Maryland" engraving on the handle feels like a nice, durable touch. I've used it for everything from searing steaks to baking cornbread, and the seasoning is already building a great non-stick surface.
